Four points for several reasons

The device fulfills exactly what I had hoped for!
A USB scanner used to depend directly on a PC, so that we always had to start this PC to scan something. That was no longer appropriate, since even the latest netbooks via WLAN are traveling in the apartment. So I created the Lanport 400 installed as a kind of extended USB cables for all network clients.
The installation was amazingly simple: Box to LAN, power and the scanner software installed, software realized Box, Laptop recognized new scanner, ready.

PLUS:
Extremely easy to install, you can ask other users by clicking to release the device.

MINUS:
The control software is not dissuade, to perpetuate the automatic startup in the registry. Ansich not bad, because you can request the release of the ports so the system software, but what if another computer is locked and the owner absent?
Even negative struck me the built-in DHCP client of the box: It was assigned a spontaneous IP in the local network, ABR later manually assign a different IP on the DHCP server überorderte the box; so I had to turn it off via the control software for safety's sake the DHCP client and enter the IP manually. (After all, the software found the box with their APIPA "emergency IP".)

The desperate negative reviews of some customers here, I can only say that it is not here to a NAS server, print server, or the like; It is completely immersed in nature of this device, that a simultaneous multi-user access can not function. This is not a defect of the device but simply a lack of information gathering in front of the department ...
